Alright, I know in the past I started to look into how to make an autohotkey script that would automatically eject the drive you have the PA menu on (when you click the eject button on PA menu). Well I began to write the script, and I made a basic one that works. Here it is.....

DriveGet, list,List, REMOVABLE  ;Only gets Removable Drives.
DriveGet, cap, capacity, %list%:  ;Gets total usb size
DrivespaceFree, free, %list%:  ;Tells you available space on drive
DriveGet, fs, fs, %list%:  ;Tells you what format the drive is in, eg: Fat32, Fat

My friend motivated me (aka begged me) to learn PHP, so I wanted to get a PHP IDE. My dad still won't let me install anything so I chose to make a Portable (on my extra 'Dev' drive I found) so that I could use it. And already it's causing me problems Sad

Problem when saving registry file using template

Submitted by CrendKing on July 14, 2008 - 9:39pm

I use the 2.6.2 template to make applications portable. I noticed that if I specify multiple entries to $REGKEYS in the header (with ||), after the application terminates, only the first entry is saved to Data directory.

I think the problem is in the CleanReg function, or more specifically, CleanRegLoop section:

Problem of virus

Submitted by apparle on July 14, 2008 - 2:22am

Some days ago my pen drive was infected by a virus. That virus copied itself to each and every folder with the name of folder. Eg: in the folder 'FirefoxPortable' the main 'FirefoxPortable.exe' was replaced by virus. This happened with each and every portableapp and I had to reinstall everything.
But in some folders where I had renamed the files(folder name and file name different), the virus created a new file which I deleted easily.

So I recommend the wherever possible please make the folder and file names different.
